Boston Acoustic CS2310 vs. Def Tech ProCinema600

I would like some opinions on either of these setups. I will be using a Pioneer VSX-919AH-K AVR to power them.

From what I have read (haven't heard either, and no one in the area has them to demo) it seems like the Boston Acoustics and Def Tech's would have similiar sounding satellites with the main difference being Boston's 10" sub (100W rms power) and Def Tech's 8" sub (with 8" passive radiator, 250w rms power). I'm torn between the two subs because on one hand I like the sound of 12" drivers so the 10" appeals to me with the ability to move more air, on the other hand the Def Tech website is saying that it's 5.1 set will go as low as 22Hz (vs. 32Hz for the Boston set, according to BA's website). I also have this gut feeling that even though one usually strives for the broadest range in their speaker systems, I probably would not be able to tell the difference (low end extension wise) between either sub. So, when I watch movies I like to watch them loud (angry wife loud) and appreciate subs that can keep up. What would you suggest between these two? The room I'll be using them in is 13'x12' with a cathedral ceiling.
Thanks

$500-$600, or so for my 5.1 setup. The goal is to keep this system (AVR and 5.1 setup) around $1000. Depending on the quality of the components I'd have no problem spending more but, as always, less is better. I like the smaller speakers because my wife is an officer in the Army so we move around every 2-3 years and having the flexibility of being able to mount them on the wall out of the way is a plus. So floorstanding speakers are out for now. When we settle down though you can bet your ass I'll be getting a better setup to go with my future projection screen with this system being either sold or somewhere else in the house But that's a few years off.

So the goals are, small, affordable (no need to go over the top since this is going to be a starter/beginner system and won't be kept in the long run), and great sound.

Just got done demoing the ProCinema 600 set at Best Buy and I really think that it was not hooked up/setup right because they sounded horrible. Running off of a Pioneer VSX-21TXH the highs sounded harsh, very little mid-range, and the sub was non-existant. I really think this is due to improper setup because at first the guy had a Mirage 8" sub (400w RMS, I don't know the model number off hand) playing with them and it blended fairly well and then I had him play it with the actual ProCinema sub and I was sorely disappointed. Am I right in that something was amiss with that setup?

Ya, I think when they "fixed" the subwoofer issue and started playing the ProCinema sub instead of the Mirage something wasn't right, because it went from sounding really good to just plain crappy.

So after doing some more research and not being happy with just a straight up HTIB I am going to do one of two things; either I am going to go with seperates (Boston Acoustic CS26's, Energy Take Classic 5.0, or the Episode satellite/bookshelf speakers) and build my own subwoofer (I have an Elemental Designs K series 12" woofer, and I'll just buy a BASH 500W amplifier from Parts Express), or I will buy the Def Tech ProCinema 600 set and call it a day.

BTW, anyone know where I could purchase the Energy Take's for cheaper than $400 for the set?
